Irish Taking the Mick?

Happy days are here again. The sun has got his hat on, says the Irish Finance Minister Michael Noonan. Sporting a big grin in Dublin yesterday he said: "We think the euro is a very strong currency," So that's alright then Michael is it, Holy Mother you sure had us worried for a moment there, so you did.

Blarney ? It's not called the luck of the Irish for nothing. They've actually got growth of 1.6% over there, though God alone knows how. Mr Noonan chirrups gleefully that he does not consider the break-up of the Eurozone even a remote possibility.The crisis is over.

Mind you, he does worry a little bit about the riots in the streets of Athens. "We don't want widespread protests. We are not going down that road. We have very co-operative people in Ireland." Are we all talking about the same place here? Where a march has them building barricades? Granted that's their northern neighbours. Still, would you bet your wages on the Irish Finance Minister? Thought not.
